I've looked into generating man pages with help2man automatically, but
apparently it would be better to do it once and keep them in a patch
until upstream accepts them. I'll look into that later, probably not
today.

I think the missing man pages was one of the reasons why I haven't put
the *json stuff in /usr/s?bin.
